Who will want fluorescent tubes in their lounge if that's the new extension?
Very few. The extension in question on this project is an extra bedroom with ensuite bathroom. I'll give you one guess as to where I suggested we put the fluoro fitting (no, I don't mean
there!
).
The homeowner can call an electrician once the installation is signed off and fit several WWII searchlights if so desired.
Precisely the point I made when discussing it. These rules are all pointless because once the extension is signed off by building control I could go back and fit a dozen 500W floodlights for him and nobody can do a darn thing about it. Ditto with the fluoro fitting for the bathroom. There's absolutely nothing legally to stop us putting up a cheapo compact fluoro until the council busybody has finished snooping around, then go back and swap it for the light he would really like in there.
